The grains trend a lot but you don't have near the liquidity you have in ES.

I wonder how many are following his lead?

I'm finding this to be true for me as well. I started improving when I turned off my indicators and just watched price. Probably not for everybody but it works for me.

I'm finding this to be my style as well. Thanks again for all your insights and those of all the other posters on this thread. I keep a journal of my trades - 12 of my last 14 days in the ES have been in positive territory using a scalping approach. Averaging just over $400 per day. I only...

Pisguy, Thanks for your words of advice. I am still demo trading on IB but I feel I am getting warmer. Paid some tuition last year which was a good learning experience. Experience with a real account is probably the best teacher. I'm sure I'm not done there yet either (just ask Boib - he's...

50's here. Only part time now but anxiously awaiting full time status. This thread has brought me closer to that goal. Thanks again Anek. It's been said here before but trading is the perfect occupation: no boss, no customers, no employees. And I anxiously await Monday mornings.

Let 'er rip Chip!!! Go with the flow!!

Point well taken. I only trade short-term and what I see happening on the chart in the here and now. I don't trade the evening session at all. I guess I fell into the ET syndrome that I see on so many threads here: "What do you think the market will do tomorrow?"

Spike up on low volume. My guess is the pros will short the heck out of this tomorrow.

And as traders we are told never to add to a losing position . . . hmmmmmm

Did OK here. $500+ all in the AM

I love chop. I seem to do OK with it.

We can't go back and read the fine print for you. Read it for yourself.

You have done a lot of good my friend. Many thanks.

Looks like coffee and potatoes are the order of the day.

I've heard the oil companies make about 9 cents profit per gallon of gasoline. Whereas the federal and state taxes are around 50 cents per gallon. Perhaps instead of talking about "big oil" its time to start talking about "big government."

Thanks for that hot tip. Would you please start your own thread and inform us how it should be done? BTW - $884 net in the ES for me today, started at 8:30 (central) done by 10:20. How is your day so far?

Here's another approach: turn off everything on your chart and just watch price. Don't do any trades, don't watch CNBC, don't watch Bloomberg, don't read ET posts ,don't read this thread. Don't do anything. JUST WATCH. Then maybe after a week of watching ask yourself: If I want to take...

Just a thought but you may want to start with corn. More volume than beans. Beans can move pretty fast.

I have found this to be true for me as well. For me it is a matter of watching BOTH the price action on the chart AND the activity that is going on in the DOM since I don't use any indicators. And actually when you are watching those two you really don't have time to be watching an indicator...
